inmates among the terrible scenes of the
never to be forgotten earthquake of Aug.
81, 1886. 1t presents with dramatic
pc uresGunesS, remarkable phase of
American Experience, and incidentally
brings out ono great fact--sNorthern
good will towards the South, as shown
by the spontaneous outpouripg of sym
pathy and gift, and the effect Of this fra
ternal spirit on the South. This story
will undoubtedly be tho greatest work
of a noviIest of widespread popularity.

Thinking q few dots from this sec
ton might be of interest to some Of
your readers, I have attempted to
write this news.
1t is n well known fact that this
section is one of the most fertile in
the county. The broad and fertile
aces that lie along the margin of the
Oolenoy River, cultivated in the high
style that they are, ,and being situated
under The lofty and majestic peaks of
the Blue Ridge, forming as it does
the most delightful section of Pick
ems County.
Most of our farmers make enough
Of bacon and corn to do them the
year round. No doubt Pumbkintown
township is clearer of debt than
any other township in the county;
and I don't think our schools and
churches can be surpassed this side of
Pickens @. fl. It is real gratifying
to see the interest our people are
taking in education, and the rapid
progress they are making. With the
appropriation of the Blair Bill | think
we could soon ahrmount the igno-
rance that has SO long prevailed in
our midst. OBSERVER.

All who treat you wrong now will be

ere long forgotten. 1t is not worth
while to hate each other.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 3O.-The
Jennie Bowman case still absorbs the
public mind here. The mob spirit has
about exhausted itself, and the attention
of everybody is upon the alleged alibi Of
Patterson. An afternoon paper publishes
a detailed account of the movements of
Patterson upon the day of the crime
with corrOboratiVe evidence, which
appears to throw serious doubts upon the
guilt of the man. Nothing conclusive
can, as yet, be decided, however. The
negro's contradictory statement first
given may have been made when he was
so scared and frightened that what
he said was not reliable, but
many people believe there is a collision
between the prisoners and some of the
witnesses. At all events the alibi
claimed by Patterson, and which is urged
as conclusiVely proved by some of the
papers, has had the effect of emphasizing
the necessity of leaving the case in the
hands of the law. That this will be done
there is no longer any doubt. The militia
Will remain ON guard tonight, and
though crowds may gather, there will be
no trouble. The victim, Jennie Bowman,
is slightly better this evening.

ponents on the floor of Con-
gressi there was wrung a need Of
praise that reflected the generosity of
those who differed with him as well as
the virtue which called it forth. The
venom which marks this article betrays q
mind that has no conception Of honest
differences on great questions and ems-
mates from spirit that would compel all
men to bow at an imperial nod. In spite
of detraction and malice the name of CAL
houn will go down the pages of history as

ances and possessed Of an eloquence that
will remain model to orators so long as

CALHOUN.

The National Republican INDUCES in a
column and half of yituperative malice
at the mention of the unwilling of the
Calhoun statue, which has no parallel in
the history of vindictive journalism.
Like it's prototype, the hyena, it drags
from the grave the victim of it's hate and
would rob the dead of all the attributes
Of nobility which distinguished John G.
Calhoun amid that galaxy of great men,
whose grandeur is limited by no sectional
bounds, but is the proud heritage ofthe
American people. To impugu motives
in one who no longer lives, save in his
deeds, is at best an uncertain task, and
one that is particularly offensive when
the motives attributed are base and at
variance with the tenor of mans life.
Webster, Clay and Adams, each testified
to the loyalty to conviction which mark
ed Calhoun's public utterances, and

Texas Prets Association,

WACO, Tex, april 25.-By constitu-
tional provision, it is made the duty of
the executive board of the Texas Press
Association to fix the time and place Of
the annual meetings of the body. The
place was selected at the last meeting in
San Antonio. As no executive board has
been appointed, ano as we learn the
president of the association, Hon. L. L.
Foster, has severed his connection with
journalism, therefore We, the under
signed officers Of the body, take the re-
sponsioiIity of calling the annual meeting
of the association at Fort Worth on May
"a, 1887, at which time and place we urge
full attendance, as matters of moment
to the press the state will be discussed
and acted upon. Further arrangements
will be announced later. Respectfully,

certain: The law has not retarded rail-
road building, though it does seem to
promote consolidation. But may 1T not
be demonstrated that few grand arteries
are mere beneficial than numerous small
veins. And if the 'Iong haul" is made
to conform to the "short haul" by the
railroads, cannot the people "regulate"
the "short haul" to rate that will leave
no room for patron of either long or
short haul to complain! Give the law a

EXTRA SESSION SURm8ESAGALN

EX IRA SESSION SURMISESAGALN
A distinguished member of the Texas
delegation in the Lower House of Con-
gress is quoted as saying, in private con-
versation, that he has strong grounds for
believing that Mr.. Cleveland will call an
extra session of Congress not later than
next October; that tariff revision
and reform will constitute the
subject for discussion and legis-
lation; and that in the message
calling the session the President will give
utterance to sentiments so emphatic, so
explicitly in favor of tariff for revenue
only that he will place himself in full
accord with the advanced sentiment of
his party on the great question and at the
same time furnish and formulate the
issue upon which the party will wage the
next congressional and national cam
paign. It would be pleasant to believe
the Texan Congressman knows what
he is talking about and that
his anticipations will be realized.
There can be no doubt whatever that
such bold stroke of policy would
make Mr.. Cleveland sure of renomina
ton and strengthen him generally. 1t
would be mastery move and Undue the
party with enthusiasm and esprit de corps
that would last all through the campaign
and bring out the full Democratic
strength in every state next year. The
simple truth is that it behooves the
Democracy to do something more than it
has done yet to convince the country that
it is really the party Of tariff reform. In
the face of such action by the President,
backed as he would be by four-ffths of
his party, would Mr.. Randall venture to
oppose his will and efforts against cohe-
rent, determined national Democratic
sentiment? We do not believe he would.
There would be but one of two courses
for Rsndall-to go with his party or walk
into the Republican camp. 1t is a year
of opportunity, and let US wait patiently
and see what the President is going
to do.

Enforce 1t Awhile.
Chicago Herald.

The opinion is growing that the best
way to treat the Interstate commerce act,
and to find out what manner law it is, is
to enforce it for awhile. Thus far the
commission has been busy most of the
time in ordering the suspension of it's
most binding section. Not until the law
has been enforced with a reasonable
amount of sternness in all parts of the
country will the people or the railroads
know whether they like it or not.

UNIFORM LAWS.
chance.

Discussing uniform marriage and di-
vorce laws in the North American Re-
view, Thomas NJ. North says: "The in
conVeniences, perhaps perils, of discord-
ant state laws on marriage and divorce
have been much discussed of late. The
remedy usually proposed is to amend the
federal constitution and give Congress
power to make uniform laws. 81
Judge Bennett has recently given to the
public an able argument for federal in
reference, which seems based on this
proposition. THE reasons for desiring
relief from an unfortunate marriage are
substantially the same throughout tie en-
tire country. The evil is the same,
and nature and reason suggest that the
remedy, or at least the relief, should be
likewise similar. Nothing so
much weakens our regard and respect for
the law, nothing so much shakes our con-
fdence in any real and abiding distinc-
tions between right and wrong, honor
and dishonor, morality and immortality,
as the knowledge that what is forbidden
by the civil law of one Jurisdiction is
freely allowed just beyond the border
without any penalty whatever From
that beginning, after stating cur variant
state laws, he goes on to an urgent plea
for national legislation as the only rem
edy.
II this be sound, it would follow that
the same remedy should apply to adul-
terry and RIGHTEOUSNESS, cognate matters,
which are now crimes in Massachusetts,
and New Jersey, but not in inter-jacent
New York; and why not to liquor selling,
lotteries, larceny, labor troubles, and
every other subject on which uniformity
is desirable? 1t might well be
argued that a man should not be hung for
murder, logged for thieving, or impris-
Oned for debt in one state and not in an
other; should not break the Sabbath,
corner pork, take more than six per cent.
or do anything else in one place
which is forbidden in another, and that
the remedy is federal-no, not federal,
but DISQUALIFICATION. Could Bis
marck himself ask more?
Let US not pull down the walls of our
constitution to bring in this wooden
horse, which is like to be as clumsy, use
less and full of danger as its great proto-
type. At least, let US be first certain that
q wooden horse is a good thing to have"
